MAGAZINE DRAFTS & PROCESS


Draft 1:

After looking at some more music magazine adverts, I decided to add a couple of reviews to my magazine advert to make it more professional and try draw the audience into wanting to purchase it. I also thought the audience may be influenced by the media and think if the magazine they like's producers listened to it then the audience should.
I took inspiration from Ellie Gouldings Advert.

Draft 2:

I still feel like my magazine advert is missing something and theres a lot of negative space on the sides of my magazine advert. I showed my audience my draft and Ellie Gouldings draft and also Jessie J's magazine advert. I asked my audience what I could add that would make it more appealing and the majority suggested to add ratings next to the reviews like Ellie has in hers.
I noticed Ellie's advert uses black stars, however I didn't think they really stood out - so I chose yellow as it's very beaming and attracts your eye as soon as you look at it because of the contrast in colours on my advert.

I looked on Google for some vector Photoshop brushes that I could use and found some that stood out on Shutterstock.com
 I added a 4 star rating next to each review, I chose 4 stars as I wanted my product to look like it was an outstanding product with a high rating. I didn't chose 5 stars as I thought this would look to unrealistic if both reviews were 5 stars.
On my final design I decided to add a line inbetween the ratings and the release date. I thought this would help the release date stand out more and also created quite a professional look in my opinion.

Draft 3: FINAL
